Just edit your /etc/sysconfig: -adjust the name of your host, -add a network interface for your ethernet card, and an IP address (there are examples in the file) Naturally, use same network addresses and don't try a link with internet with dummies addresses! :-) Add the both PC IP address -> hostname in /etc/hosts in BSD, and in the /windows/hosts file in win95 (+ don't forget 127.0.0.1 localhost) The inetd deamon is already running (default), then you can try to ping between computers If all is OK, you can ftp, telnet and so, from win95 with BSD registered users...
